Antimicrobials are critical to contemporary high-intensity beef production. Many different
antimicrobials are approved for beef cattle, and are used judiciously for animal welfare, and …

Escherichia coli comprises a highly diverse group of Gram‐negative bacteria and is a
common member of the intestinal microflora of humans and animals. Generally, such …

Phylogenetic trees are an important analytical tool for evaluating community diversity and
evolutionary history. In the case of microorganisms, the decreasing cost of sequencing has …

The mature intestinal microbiome is a formidable barrier to pathogen colonization. Day-old
chicks seeded with cecal contents of adult hens are resistant to colonization with …

The impact of primary cooling on beef microbiota was investigated on six beef carcasses
consecutively processed with the parallel use of metataxonomic and culture-dependent …

The hypothesis was that probiotic Lactobacillus species (spp.) or their cell‐free supernatant
(CFS) are effective in inhibiting (a) planktonic growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA),(b) …

Probiotics are most frequently derived from the natural microbiota of healthy animals. These

foodborne pathogen associated with acute enteric disease and hemolytic–uremic syndrome …

Aims Dairy cattle shed pathogenic Escherichia coli O157 (O157) in faeces, playing a role in
human exposure. We aimed to measure faecal microbial communities in early lactation dairy …
